Collagen is the protein which is found in the natural network of bone.
This triple helical structure is extremely solid and keeps the bone from being separated by compounds.
Other than collagen, there are also other types of compounds found in bone such as proteoglycans, matrix proteins which also does contain osteocalcin.
The collagen here, provides the tensile strength to the bone .
